Comodo Internet Security 2020 v12.2.2.7036 Released.

[Born]

After manually checking for update its showing a program update but then gives this error.Error: 0x80070002 - The system cannot find the file specified. I've already did a clean install of 12.2.2.7036 and still getting the error.

[CommodoUser2019]

I recently started using the Comodo DNS servers and with the beta RC the addresses were:

Preferred  8.26.56.26
Alternate  8.20.247.20

Now with this new release they are:

Preferred 156.154.70.22
Alternate 156.154.71.22

It looks like these addresses have been around for a long time. Just wondering why the change, and if there's a difference between one set of addresses and another.

For the persons who already installed the v12.2.2.7036 RC from BETA section, there will be no reason to install this v12.2.2.7036.
It's the same msi package, the signature is identical and therefor will be like installing the same thing twice !
Instead those who have the v12.2.2.7036 RC from BETA section just modify back the etc\hosts file and remove the beta server addresses
178.255.86.194 download.comodo.com
178.255.86.194 www.download.comodo.com
or just use the original windows hosts file and replace.

note: COMODO Team should explain this as for people to not do the same job twice !

Briefly tried the AV, clean installation on Windows 10 home 1909 18363.815.
I had two issues:

• ghost icon on taskbar
• Windows Defender was running together with CAV

Uninstalled, this time forever.
If Comodo wanna focus on enterprises rather than on home users, just go ahead with that and don't keep messing things up

for the issue no1 just click->icon->exit, now just enter again it will be on taskbar with icon this time.

no2 issue ask MS mate as it is not COMODO problem, MS Windows Defender has changed a lot from MS Windows v. to another v., as it is almost required by OS itself to run, so like i said it's NOT COMODO problem in here!
I don't have this problem since in my wim file v.1809 is LITE by me and i took out a lot of stuff including super cpu hogging Windows Defender.
Or you can try by yourself to remove it via powershell -online, google it.
via powershell run as administrator
Uninstall-WindowsFeature -Name Windows-Defender
also add in reg
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\Feature]
"DisableAvCheck"=dword:00000001

• It's annoying
• Every other AV I have tried can disable Windows Defender without problems

I had an issue with Comodo 12.1 breaking Windows 8.1 custom page file setup. Was this problem somehow fixed or is still present? I want avoid to test & roll back so trying to investigate first.

Congratulations on getting this one out.

Upon installing using the FW Online installer I kept getting the following errors when trying to install.

Sometimes I would just get one of them or sometimes both.

After a few reboots and av-scans I managed to launch the installer without it giving these errors.

(No malware detected in the scans)

Also seen this issue with the RC.

Had uninstalled the 7036 RC, then used the latest Comodo Uninstall Tool before installing public 7036.

Note: I was not double launching the installer by accident. The installer would work after I clicked ok, but I wanted an install without the error.

Upgraded an couple of PCs last night.

I couldn't get the firewall only online installer to work though.
It started running then just disappeared on me (no error, nothing), tried it an few times and gave up.

But I had no issues using the CIS offline installer to upgrade.

Yes my experience was similar.

The offline installer gave no errors for me.

The icon is legacy from v6914 it's only an esthetic minor bug and it might be related to the Device Control (maybe ?)

I don't know about other AV since some years ago, and i might wrongly presume that other AV do indeed disable the Microsoft own "security protection" like defender and even firewall and i don't think Microsoft$ allowed or like that so easy..
And just maybe COMODO, it's actual security suite operates along with Microsoft Firewall as disabling Microsoft Firewall has negative consequences to the OS itself, so a very smart move from COMODO security suite was to operate along but not with Microsoft Firewall.
In other words COMODO is letting the MS must carry package Firewall to do it's magic (assure that some vital OS function works) and that's it !
So to have peace of mind just now that COMODO is indeed the main Firewall!

Hate to break it to you but those are Windows issues, once you install on a new Windows install, you won't get those problems. I had experienced the missing icon when show traffic animation was disabled or I didn't install the firewall when I was on 1903, after I did a fresh install of 1909, the icon always loaded even now without traffic animation being enabled in the firewall settings. Same for security center integration, Windows for some reason won't always get the status from Comodo on system startup, when I reformatted to install the 1909 build, I haven't had warnings from security center since.

Downloaded now. So far, so good!
Congratulations guys!

For those who have Windows Defender alongside CIS or CAV reset the Security Center. This will fix the registration of CIS or any other security program with Windows Security Center in most cases. Registration of security programs with Security Center has always been a bit flakey and also happens with other security. 

How to reset the Security Center
Open a command prompt by typing cmd in the search field of Windows start menu. It will show Command Prompt. Click right on it to run as administrator
 
In the command prompt window, type NET STOP WINMGMT /Y and press ENTER.
 
Type REN %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\WBEM\REPOSITORY REP.OLD and press ENTER.
 
Type EXIT and press ENTER to close the window.
 
Restart the system. Windows should start normally. If the registration with Security Center is not successful after the reboot reboot once more. In a small minority of cases you may be prompted to restart the system a second time to complete the changes caused by resetting the core repository.

Comodo does not use the package filter facility of Windows Firewall but uses its own driver (inspect.sys which shows up as Comodo Internet Security Firewall Driver in the Properties of your network adapter. See attached image. Disabling Windows Firewall has no negative consequences for the OS when you have CIS or other firewall installed.

You can disable Windows Firewall yourself as Microsoft does no longer allow security programs to disable Windows Firewall. However we advice to keep Windows Defender Firewall service running because CIS relies on it with regard to sharing over the local network.

If the Security Center sees another AV program is installed it will disable Windows Defender.
